After 13 years you may be a little hazy on the Deadwood details. We’ll bring you up to speed.
Almost 50 years to the day since Neil Armstrong uttered the immortal words "the Eagle has landed" Lego will launch its Creator Expert set of the Eagle Lunar Module to celebrate the anniversary. Developed in cooperation with NASA, the set comes with mini astronaut figures and a Moon-surface diorama stage complete with craters, footprints, a flag and even a replica of the plaque Armstrong and Aldrin left behind on the surface.

In an attempt to find out more, researchers at the University of Chicago have now managed to recreate cell division outside of a cell for the first time, surprising even themselves.

As a setting for a celebration of any form of heritage, there could be no finer location, as the former royal residence near Rome is now a luxury hotel, world-renowned for its 25 acres of terraced Italian Renaissance gardens.

But what if you could stay healthier without changing your diet? In mouse tests conducted at Max Planck, researchers have now found a way to alter the fat metabolism in the liver, reducing the chances of diabetes without changing a high-fat diet.

Built to honor the great Austro-Daimler marque, the Bergmeister ADR 630 Shooting Grand is a tarmac-tearing beast with an enormous 155-mile all-electric range.

The trial decimated the target mosquito population in only 45 days paving the way for more trials in open environments.

The T.K.4.7 rides on a similarly rugged foundation as its big brother but offers a more compact living space that blurs the boundary between inside and outside. With two of four sides taken up almost entirely by wide-opening doors, the trailer lets campers connect with the great outdoors in a way most other small trailers do not.

The study reveals the bacteria Mycobacterium vaccae can produce a unique anti-inflammatory fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties.

Among a range of other biological oddities, these weird little rodents have a remarkable resistance to pain that's not seen in other mammals, and now researchers have a better understanding of why. A new study has uncovered the molecular reasons for the pain insensitivity, which could eventually lead to new pain relief techniques for human use.

The new research reveals how gastrointestinal problems can be triggered by the same gene mutations associated with autism, and a striking mouse study has demonstrated how a fecal transplant from humans with autism can promote autism-like behaviors in the animals.

As part of a celebration of Victorian cinema, the British Film Institute (BFI) and the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) have released the oldest known moving picture of a solar eclipse. Recently restored to 4K quality by conservation experts at the BFI National Archive, the one-minute-eight-second film is a recording of the total eclipse of the Sun made by British magician and pioneering filmmaker Nevil Maskelyne in North Carolina on 28 May, 1900.

With a great drive dynamic, a good look, and some solid technologies available, the Forte is the new compact to beat ... yet it still has some weaknesses for others to exploit.

Scientists at TU Delft have now developed what is claimed to be the smallest autonomous racing drone on the planet, a feat that involved some serious innovations in the algorithms that control its flight path.

Clearly drawing from the movie of the same name as the new Jeep pickup truck, Hennessey went a step further (as they are wont to do) and shoved 1,000 horsepower into a Jeep Gladiator. The result is also predictable.

Headlamps are certainly handy when it comes to engaging in night-time outdoor activities, but some models do have their limitations. The Spanish-designed Carbi is designed to address those problems, plus it has a few interesting bonus features.

The aptly-named Bridge House is designed to withstand its country's famously harsh winters and spans a small river on a farm.
